The Complete Poetical Works of Oliver Goldsmith
Contents:
Of the Death of the Right Hon. *
YE Muses, pour the pitying tear For Pollio snatch’d away; O! had he liv’d another year!— ’He had not died to-day’.
O! were he born to bless mankind, 5 In virtuous times of yore, Heroes themselves had fallen behind!— ’Whene’er he went before’.
How sad the groves and plains appear, And sympathetic sheep; 10 Even pitying hills would drop a tear!— ’If hills could learn to weep’.
His bounty in exalted strain Each bard might well display; Since none implor’d relief in vain!— 15 ’That went reliev’d away’.
And hark! I hear the tuneful throng His obsequies forbid, He still shall live, shall live as long!— ’As ever dead man did’. 20
